Summary: The Senate Committee on Natural Resources met with a quorum present and took up several bills, mostly as pending business. HB 1089, creating the Gulf Coast Protection Account to be administered by the General Land Office, was laid out as the House companion to SB 795; Senator Alvarado moved it be reported favorably, and it passed the committee 8-0. The committee also adopted a committee substitute for HB 2970 and then reported it favorably 9-0, despite the motion wording recommending the substitute in lieu of the original bill. HB 2890, HB 1238, and HB 206 were each laid out and reported favorably to the full Senate by 9-0 votes. For each bill reported favorably, members also approved motions to place the bill on the local and uncontested calendar, with no objections. The transcript reflects brief procedural repetition and some garbled audio, but the actions are clear: the committee advanced all measures considered during the meeting without recorded opposition. The chair then announced there was no further business and the committee stood in recess subject to the call of the chair.

Summary: The Senate Committee on Natural Resources met with a quorum initially lacking, then took up several bills and heard brief testimony. HB 206, by Rep. Craddick, would prohibit counties from requiring cash bonds as a condition for pipeline construction approvals, while still allowing other forms of financial assurance; the sponsor and a Target Pipeline witness said cash-bond mandates create unnecessary costs and uncertainty, and the bill was left pending. HB 2890, by Rep. Patterson, would create an interstate compact among Gulf Coast states to coordinate and support the liquefied natural gas industry; the sponsor emphasized LNG’s economic importance and said the bill mirrors prior compact language that does not require congressional approval, and it was left pending after no public testimony. HB 1238, by Rep. Geren, would let TCEQ use third-party inspection reports and remote technology when reviewing proposed Class I injection wells; the sponsor and a uranium industry witness said it would streamline regulation and support industry, and it was left pending. HB 2970, by Rep. Paul, the House version of SB 410, would require the Gulf Coast Protection District’s final gate design to accommodate two-way vessel traffic and allow the governor to appoint the district’s presiding officer; the committee substitute was explained and the bill was left pending. With members scattered in other committees, the chair said the committee would recess and later reconvene to vote and complete its work.

Summary: The committee heard several transportation and aviation measures. HB 1175, by Rep. Turner, updated aeronautics-related definitions and was reported favorably without objection. HB 655, by Rep. Brough, authorized DOTD to use cost-plus contracts for operation and maintenance of state ferry systems, with Secretary Glenn LaDay explaining it was intended to give DOTD flexibility for possible privatization or contracting of ferries such as Cameron; it was also reported favorably. HB 1037, by Chairman Borek, shifted certain DOTD operational responsibilities to a chief operating officer and was reported favorably, and HB 1174, also by Chairman Borek, recreated DOTD and was reported favorably as a cleanup measure. HB 714 and HB 502 were voluntarily deferred. The committee then considered several port-related bills. HB 871, by Rep. Carver, would have added two St. Tammany Parish appointees to the Port of New Orleans board, but the author asked to voluntarily defer it, saying the timing was premature given ongoing work on the Louisiana International Terminal and related access projects. HB 345, by Rep. McMakin, expanded the Rail Infrastructure Improvement Program to include rail infrastructure at ports and was reported favorably. HB 713, by Rep. McCormick, would cap the Caddo-Bossier Port executive director’s compensation at the statewide average of the top ten port directors; after extensive debate and testimony from the port, the Port Association, and Caddo Parish opposing the bill, the committee voted 12-1 to involuntarily defer it. HB 667, also by Rep. McCormick, would change Caddo-Bossier Port commissioners from appointed to elected; witnesses argued it would politicize the board, create election costs, and conflict with the port’s current structure, and the committee again voted 12-1 to involuntarily defer the bill. The committee also advanced local infrastructure and flood-protection measures. HB 743, by Rep. St. Blanc, creating the Harry P. Williams Memorial Airport District in St. Mary Parish, was reported favorably after testimony that the district would help the parish manage the airport as an economic development asset. HB 836, by Rep. Hilferty, would reconfirm members of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority East by Senate confirmation; after concerns that the original August 1 date could interfere with hurricane-season operations, the committee adopted an amendment moving the reconfirmation date to December 1, 2026, and then reported the bill favorably by substitute. Finally, HB 730, by Rep. Cruz, was presented to prohibit the use of ADS-B aircraft tracking data to assess taxes or fees on aircraft owners, with an amendment narrowing the bill to smaller aircraft; the discussion continued into questions about enforcement and exemptions for carrier airports.

Summary: The committee heard extensive public testimony on engrossed second substitute Senate Bill 6026, which would generally require cities and counties planning under the Growth Management Act to allow residential development in commercial and mixed-use zones and restrict local mandates for ground-floor commercial or mixed-use space, subject to multiple exemptions and a possible study-based off-ramp. The sponsor and supporters, including the Lieutenant Governor, the governor’s housing policy advisor, Commerce, developers, labor-adjacent housing groups, and major employers, argued the bill would unlock underused commercial land, reduce barriers to housing production, and help address the state’s housing shortage. They emphasized vacant strip malls and big-box sites, the need for more housing near existing infrastructure, and the bill’s flexibility through carve-outs for transit areas, historic districts, business improvement areas, and other designated places. Cities and local government groups testified in opposition or with concerns, saying the bill would override local planning, impose costly code changes and studies, and could undermine walkable, mixed-use downtowns and neighborhood centers. Representatives from Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Kent, Lakewood, Lacey, Bellingham, and the Association of Washington Cities said ground-floor retail requirements are sometimes needed to preserve small businesses, complete communities, and local tax bases, and asked for more exemptions or a clearer compliance path. Some witnesses also raised concerns about the study option’s timing and cost, while others asked for protections for affordable housing incentives and existing local flexibility. Before the hearing on SB 6026 resumed, the committee took executive action on several other bills. It advanced SB 5820 on freight rail dependent overlay planning after rejecting an amendment from Rep. Griffey that would have restored Clark County authority and added greenhouse-gas findings. The committee also passed SB 5995 on zero- and near-zero-emission cargo handling equipment, SB 5552 on kit home building codes, SB 5467 on water-sewer district surplus property sales, and SB 6189 on removing the deadline for forming a public facilities district for regional aquatics and sports facilities, all with do pass recommendations.

Summary: The House Local Government Committee heard several bills, with testimony largely focused on housing, local government property sales, freight rail land use, and port automation. On Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5552, which would direct the State Building Code Council to create building code rules for kit homes by March 31, 2027, the sponsor described the bill as a housing-supply option for small, assembled-on-site homes, and one supporter said it would add clarity without weakening safety or zoning standards. The chair postponed the public hearing on the bill after brief discussion. The committee also heard Senate Bill 5467, which would raise the thresholds for water-sewer districts to sell surplus personal and real property without notice or private-sale restrictions. The sponsor and district representatives said the bill simply updates outdated dollar limits to reflect inflation and improve efficiency. The bill drew no opposition in the hearing and was later closed out for public hearing. Senate Bill 5820, dealing with Clark County’s freight rail-dependent use overlay, drew the most divided testimony. Supporters argued the 2017 exemption has harmed agricultural and forest lands, created environmental and legal problems, and provided little or no local economic benefit, while opponents said the rail corridor supports freight mobility, carbon-efficient transportation, and economic development, and warned repeal would strand investments and contractual rights. The committee also heard Senate Bill 5995, which would remove the sunset on the prohibition against using public port funds for fully automated marine cargo handling equipment; labor witnesses supported it as a jobs-and-safety measure, while shipping industry representatives opposed it as premature and harmful to port competitiveness. No votes were taken in the transcript, and the chair adjourned after closing the hearings.

Summary: The meeting of the committee focused on several bills aimed at enhancing the operational efficiency of Texas transportation and port authorities. Key discussions included the implications of SB2080, which seeks to streamline operations for navigation districts by raising procurement authority, exempting security discussions from recording requirements, and aligning Texas ports with national standards to foster economic growth. Senator Alvarado advocated fervently for the bill, emphasizing its positive impact on competitiveness with ports in states like Virginia and New Jersey. Public testimony reflected mixed responses, with strong support from industry representatives but opposition from some municipal authorities concerned about the potential overreach of port authorities into local development.

Summary: The Senate Transportation Committee heard testimony and took action on a series of transportation-related bills. Early in the meeting, Senator Hagenbuch presented HB 647, which would let drivers who have had corrective eye surgery update their licenses by submitting physician verification without an in-person DMV visit; he argued it would reduce DMV lines, though a fiscal note estimated setup costs. The committee also heard HB 2029, a cleanup bill clarifying that travel trailers are not subject to safety inspections after prior legislation removed inspections for trailers and all vehicles, and HB 4804, which would remove Texas’s CDL appeals hearing process to align with federal law and avoid jeopardizing highway funds, while also authorizing DPS action related to the terrorist offender registry. All three bills were left pending after testimony, along with HB 2003, which would require annual public reporting by entities with projects in the Texas Rail Plan, especially in light of the Dallas-Houston high-speed rail project and landowner concerns; supporters said it would improve transparency, while opponents warned it would force disclosure of proprietary financial information from a private project. The committee also heard HB 2775, adding Ector County and Odessa to the I-27 Advisory Committee, and HB 791, authorizing a specialty plate for Central Catholic High School in San Antonio; both were left pending after brief discussion and no opposition testimony. The committee then heard several local or commemorative measures. HB 1242 would designate part of U.S. Highway 281 in Brooks County as the Ernesto Solis-Cantu Memorial Highway, and HB 2061 would name a bridge on State Highway 242 in Montgomery County for Lance Corporal Armando Hernandez. Hernandez’s mother testified emotionally in support, describing his military service and the family’s wish to have the bridge mark his return home; members responded supportively. The committee also heard HB 1729, which would impose term limits on Freeport commissioners, and HB 3751, transferring a DPS commercial vehicle enforcement office building in Woodville from TxDOT to DPS. HB 3611, the “bandit sign” bill, was presented as a targeted enforcement measure against illegal commercial signs in medians and right-of-ways, with added safeguards to avoid affecting political signs and to require written notice before fines. All of these bills were left pending after testimony. At the end of the meeting, the committee took up pending business and voted out multiple bills favorably. HB 3751, HB 261/HB 2061, HB 647, HB 791, HB 1242, HB 1729, HB 2003, HB 2029, HB 2775, HB 3611, HB 4804, and HB 2522 were each reported favorably to the full Senate, generally on unanimous or near-unanimous votes. Most were also sent to the local and uncontested calendar, though HB 2029 was ultimately not placed there after an objection. The committee then recessed.
